I just ruined a guest's stay

wow. aren't there 12 step programs for tv-addiction?

but my own personal reaction would be... "what's tv?" cos i haven't owned one in about 4 years. last time i went to buy one i realized... i didn't want one and bought a cute reading lamp instead so yeah, it's possible to live quite happily without the bloody tube

By a very strange coincidence on my most recent vacations I've watched a lot of TV.

For example, I was on vacation in the Boston area in September of 2001.

I was also in London in July of 2005.



I've since stopped taking vacations.

That sounds like what used to happen to my grandparents. They visited Czechoslovakia one year... the next, that country no longer existed.

Another year, they visited Yugoslavia. The next, it had broken up into a bunch of smaller countries.

A ruined vacation because of HBO-deprivation...hmmmmmmm....

All vacation means to me is I don't have to go to work and still get paid!!!! Got one coming the week after next, and HOOOOOOOOOO-BOY, am I looking forward to it!!!! Five straight days of nothing but getting the kids on the bus, getting my butt on the bike, and beating myself senseless with the pedaling!!!! I will be so ripped/wore out/happy, it's ridiculous!!!!

BTW...haven't even SEEN HBO myself since about 1989...I must be one of the walking dead, eh?

Ok.....Is it just me....Or does anybody think that $150 a night in a hotel just for HBO is a rather extraordinary price to pay? Wouldn't it make more sense to skip the hotel room entirely and just say....I don't know....Pay the extra $10 a month to get HBO for the next year or so?

Oh....Wait!....I thought a customer would make some kind of sense......

Silly ME!

nitpick/ it's going into off peak in salt lake so paying $150 a night for most hotels would be a rip off for reasons other than going there just for HBO /nitpick

If this guy really needs HBO to have a great vacation, wouldn't it be better for him to subscribe to it at his house and just stay home?

Hey, I have a list of countries they can go to next...

[Anakah]

Why would you go on vacation to do something you can do at home?? To be on vacation to me, is going out and doing things OUTSIDE or away from the hotel. That is weird. His whole vacation was HBO? lol

Sorry. They stopped taking those trips several years ago, and my grandmother passed away last year. Grandpa's not much of a traveler himself these days.
